Back Pain? Could be the Gluteus Medius .
I have several clients that have complained of low back pain.
Surprisingly it is not the back muscles that are causing
the discomfort, but the Gluteus Muscles. The Medius is deep into the Butt
muscles.
Do you place your wallet in the back pocket or tools you use during work?
Any exercising or adjustments to your current workout program?
Are you walking, running, playing tennis? These could be reasons for the pain.
Here a few strengthening exercises for the Gluteus Medius.
Always consult your doctor.

High Blood Pressure? Could A Massage help with the Stress?
Massage therapy has long been viewed by many as a luxury treat to your body. An indulgent that you may think about but feel a little guilty.
When your muscles are sore from the tension and stress you experience on a daily basis, your blood pressure is strained also.
While Deep Tissue massage therapy is very beneficial to your overall well-being, a healthy lifestyle change is necessary.

Knee pain....
The knee joint is the largest joint in the body.
We all at one time or another have experienced some sort of knee discomfort. Symptoms develop from every-day wear and tear on our body, overuse and injury. Knee problems and injury most often happen during sports, recreational activities, home projects and work-related tasks.
The surface of the bones inside of the knee joint is covered by articular cartilage. This helps by acting like a shock absorber similar to a car's when going over bumps in the road.
Although knee problems are usually caused from an injury there are some people that are more prone the knee problems than others. Many jobs, sports, getting older, excessive weight and arthritis all contribute to the chances of developing problems with your knees.
Check with your doctor for more information.
